The Invisible Bridge

My first Blog is to introduce my new book titled The Supernova Advisor. This is the work of over 3 years in the making. I am finishing it up now and will publish it December 4th by John Wiley&Sons. Getting it down on paper and getting fedback was critical. We now have a team of three working every week to move it along. I have brought in a larger group of readers who are now beginning to give me feedback.

The book is written to help people in the financial services business to reach significantly higher levels of performance through a process of revolutionary practice management strategies which we call Supernova

There are many bad credit personal loans online. More and more companies are offering quick cash loans (like Internet Cash Advance) to people with bad credit, without the inconvenience of having to go to a bank of office and fill out paperwork.

Hi.
My name is Karine. I am the communications assistant of a very successful investment team in Quebec, Canada.

well... successful...

Your book has come into my and my team's life last week.
A team that could be described with a few copy-and-pasted passages from your book. Successful but at a crossroads. Money coming in, but not satisfied. Proposing a very professional Service Pledge. We really concentrated on setting it up to make it look attractive. hmmm. Yet it is impossible for us to hold our end of the bargain. We run a full time emergency room. But we are successful.

So your book thumped on my boss's desk 2 weeks ago. My boss. Our boss. Luc. Our leader and mentor, a very accomplished and above-average man.
As he was getting ready for his 3-day-annual planning, he threw your book in his box, on top of all the nice binders that I had prepared, with the mandatory colored seperator.

So off he went, secluded in his condo, as we kept the ship afloat. The occasional e-mail from him clued us in on how he was in a very "zen" state of mind. Being a team who fuels on humor, we made fun of him, picturing him in a Buddha-like positing, levitating in his condo. I remember him mentioning how he had found the question AND the answer to our efforts to keep this boat afloat.
He urged me to order the book for the rest of the team. Being the very devoted assistant that I am, I didn't give it a second thought and ordered it right away from Amazon. During the 2-day Purolator-delivery-imposed delay, he tried to share and explain what Oprah refers to as a "Light-bulb moment" that he had while devouring this book. I can still see the 3 of us, members of his loyal team, looking at him with a smile, not fully getting it but thinking it was entertaining in a cute kind of way to see him so passionate about something that quite frankly, we just didn't get. Not resisting the temptation to challenge him with "Yeah, sounds great Luc BUT this, BUT that". He once again urged us to read the book.

So fast forward to *here and now*, barely awake from this transe. I just finished reading this book cover to cover in less than a day.
Holding my notebook full of scribbles, I am impatiently and faithfully waiting for the rest of my team... by this invisible bridge.
I have never felt so empowered and motivated to be part of something that is just ready to blossom.

Now with that being said, please know that your book has quite an impact on some quite modest yet thirsty for change people.
